A book was found,
behind, beneath,
the shelves of mine,
to me, bequeathed.
Upon them sat,
my stories told,
so many lost,
both young and old.

But this one, new -
apparent age.
So old it was,
on inner page.
It's title, blocked,
in stranger verse,
in unknown words,
meaning dispersed.

I grabbed it soft,
in magic held,
with horn alit,
its words it tell'd.
I read it then,
I flipped it through,
Its pages turned,

If anyone's curious, here are some of the things that could have happened instead. I formatted it a little different so you didn't have to jump back to the chapter to see what the hell I'm talking about with each one.

Alright, so. One person bought an autobuy slot and there were no bids otherwise. But I mean. I never expected to reach autobuy so that's great.
The first chapter of the horror story will be up sometime this week, and then I'll do that annoying thing where I ask for donations again. I'll attach some choices people can donate/vote for, too.

Can anyone come up with a nicer cover picture for me? Currently it’s just John with a lightning bolt, could someone do a better John Cousins for me? Or anyone know any good artist for me to ask?

The 5th chapter in The Runaway Bodyguard was released on Friday. Starlight learns something about world and self-image while experiencing the Pullpony service on the train to Canterlot.

Several months back, I signed up for a fundraiser/competition event called the Tournament of Canterlot and entered The Lost Element as the story that would be competing and drawing in donations. But now, nearly 9 months later, my sponser page has racked up a very disheartening $0. The total donations for the competition have barely surpassed a measly 2% of the

The Knights of Little Canterlot series, is now discontinued.

The commissioner of such products has unfriended me angrily, and without going into detail, they have proven themselves a Racist. I will have no part of such a person.

However...This person was also my vector artist for the AKYearling versions of the books.

Until I replace that role, I am afraid I cannot promise anymore AKYearling versions of the books. Looks like I need to find a new artist.

They say you always go back to the classics — and today's story digs back all the way to Equestrian antiquity.

New (non-H&HW) headcanon: Latest meme around CHS is taking unintimidating/unflattering pictures of Sunset Shimmer with the hashtag #WatchOutPrincess

Last final in a few hours. The stress is almost gone.

I got the chapter written but...I kinda wanna extend it a bit...please be patient! I know t's been a bit and I constantly fight the urge to give you all a little something even if it could be better.

So after the gripping conclusion to the previous part we rejoin Mac and Time Turner in their hotel room the next morning, Time Turner nursing a monstrous hang-over from the sparkling cider served at the bachelor party and doing his best to politely refuse Big Mac's old-fashioned home remedies (look up a Prairie Oyster and you'll get an idea).
